R30 Skyline Indicator Problems

Hi guys,

Just a quick question: the indicators on my 1982 R30 Skyline have stopped flashing. To be more exact they still work, they just don't flash on and off like an indicator should.

I'm sure that this is something really basic to fix, its just that my technical knowledge is pretty non-existent and I'd really rather not have to take it to a mechanic to pay through the nose for what I'm guessing will take 10 minutes to fix.

So any suggestions as to what the problem is and any possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Bryn

First of all check all the lights, for each side, come on when you turn on the flashers. Some load sensing flasher cans will flash at an increased rate with a blown globe, others will not flash at all, ie the lights just stay on.

If all your flasher lights are working the problem is more than likely a faulty flasher can.

Don't go to a mechanic if you can't sort it yourself, go to an auto electrician.

Cheers,

Topper

Do they still work on "Hazard"?

I've had some issues with the indicator stalk (switch) clogging up with dirt and stuff. I found I needed to jiggle it a bit to get the right connection to get the indicators working (only on one side). It's a relatively straight-forward job to remove the stalk assembly and give it a bit of a clean out in switch mechanism.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
